At some point may need to take meds or insulin too.

The keyword is "if". In Malaysia, diabetic patient discipline is severely lacking.

That's a drastic weight loss. Any slack & your weight will probably balloon back, maybe higher than original.

What are your creatinine & albuminuria levels?

I have CKD due to diabetes & hypertension But for the past 2 years I've stopped the progression with tight control. In any case the life expectancy may still take a hit.

Stage 3b. It's due to diabetic nephropathy. After control the eGFR fluctuates within that stage. I am waiting for a kidney scan later this year but yet to get an appointment from the GH. I'm not showing any stark symptoms of CKD stage 3B thus the doctor referred me to the nephro specialist to check the actual condition of the kidneys.

Doctor also prescribed folic acid, Vit B complex & iron due to anemia, which is also a symptom of CKD.

It's diagnosed from the creatinine level in a blood test which includes the renal profile. From that the eGFR may be calculated. You may also have high proteinuria & albuminuria levels.

Was on Metformin & Glimicron for years. Earlier this year the doctor stopped those & prescribed insulin because of the CKD.

I was diagnosed with stage 3a about 1 year ago. No specialized diet at the moment. Eating balanced meals, meds & exercise.

After about 18 years of meds but initially the diabetes was poorly controlled. I was diagnosed within a year after experiencing muscular pain in the lower limbs & phimosis.

It was at 32 about a month ago. I'm using Mixtard 30 or Insugen 30/70, depending on availability in the KK.

Microalbumin was at 189. Are there better insulin? My glucose & bp readings are in good control now.

You know la appointment to see specialist is quite slow to get in govt hospital. Anyway the KK doctor has prescribed folic acid, vit B complex & iron tablets, on top of Amlopidine which I'm already taking.

There are many FB treatment & supplement sellers who claim can heal CKD but I always thought it cannot be reversed.

I'm T2. Reduction or stopping of Metformin is recommend at higher stages of CKD. Thus insulin is prescribed.

Anemia diagnosed from the blood test. And I'm having longterm IBS-C thus digestion of nutrients is always an issue. The injured nephrons in the kidneys cannot be healed. Not by known current treatments anyway.

Your body is burning its muscle due to the inability to utilize glucose for energy. The rapid weight loss is due to muscle being denser than fat. In reality you're at a critical stage & need to correct the situation asap.
